Say hi to my 2006 MX-5 (Miata)!
I bought this at the end of May and finally had time to take some decent pics. Details:
2006 "NC" generation, GX base
5MT
53k kms
Never winter driven.
1 owner, private sale
Dealer maintained since new
New top in 2020
Bought it from my parents neighbourhood - I actually saw this car in 2006-2012 while I still lived at my parents. Dad found out about it on his daily walks - the car was not advertised so I think I got a decent deal.
Its not perfect:
-Engine light went on during the 600 km drive home. Thermostat stuck open, cheap fix at an indy shop.
-Tires: excellent tread, no cracks but 12 year old DOT codes...
-Peeling clear coat on front bumper edge and mirrors. I blame this on 16 years of summer outdoor parking and crappy Mazda paint/body.
-2 leaks: one from the windshield cowl, and somewhere in the trunk (likely 3rd brake light gaskets). Easy fixes.
I'm probably the only guy in Ottawa with 2 RWD, manual sports cars
The 128i will be for winter and long distance "practical" duties. It does have 4 seats and a roof after all.
